Time stands still for no one – not even the retirement community.

Acacia Cove Village had a big Mid-Winter Celebration on Friday, 12th July. As usual everybody came dress to impress. The chef prepared a marvelous meal, and the entertainment was spot-on. I think I can speak for everyone who attended… it truly was a night to remember!

Early in August our Village Manager, Bruce Cullington are planning a celebration-lunch for all our residents over 90. We were quite amazed to see that the number of our nonagenarian’s has grown to 32.

Teen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity.

She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’

Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.
